Sadly, probably not.
I bet everyone does.
I like to sniff my own and others its just that rancid smell that smells so good
thats wierd but my sister does that its really gross..
i like to fart on my cats' face, when i had a cat & when i was 9.....but i bet she liked the smell!
LOL JK, but i hate how farts smell. EW!
I also enjoy my own brand...also I like to hear the pitch of my fart and decide whether its sharp or flat. Sometimes the smell of my fart is so sharp it makes my teeth itch. i dont like the smell of anyone elses fart though.....thats just sick!
Obviously I am curious about this topic or I would not be here. I don't know if I would say I like the smell of my farts. Actually sometimes I really cannot stand them, yet I am ALWAYs very interested in smelling them. When I think it is going to smell, I wait for it and if the stink hits me, I am either grossed out or intrigued. If it is really rank, then I am disgusted, but sometimes it won't smell at all. Those times, I feel relieved. Especially when I am in public. But the weird thing is, sometimes they don't really stink. It's more of a food smell. A lot of times it smells like broccoli and I get a little bewildered because...I did not eat broccoli! That's weird, right? Is that normal? I think sometimes it smells like mexican food if I ate mexican and that smell isn't so bad. Of course it's still gross though.

The golden question here though, is:
Why are we so INTERESTED in our own farts?
Note, I just wrote a long paragraph describing mine in detail.
My theory is scientific. I think it IS normal and healthy. Bodily functions are all the "tangible" evidence we have of how we are functioning all "up in there"
It's running on the same reasons we analyze stool samples. It's why we look at our own poop before we flush. I do not know all the significances of the different nuances of fart smells, but I do know, that if one notices they are EXTRA STINKY, it might be a clue that a change in diet is in order. Or more serious, there could be a medical condition. I'm not kidding. I have experienced someone with this medical condition first hand. I can't remember what it is called. It's not irritable bowel or anything, though that would be a good one, but this man literally stunk out an entire train car every 15 minutes like clockwork. And yes, I was stuck in a train car with him. It was a boyfriend's uncle. The worst part is, though, he thought it was insanely hilarious to continuously gross everyone out every chance he could. It got to the point where I could not feel sorry for him. I was getting pissed because I was trying to take a nap and I would be just settling into a good sleep, when...you guessed it! His nasty ass was powerful enough to startle me out of my sleep. And it wasn't just because I heard everyone else complaining first. It was the intensity of the odor hitting my nostrils.
Anyway, I don't know if anyone will even read this. But I do hope it helps inform or at least entertain someone. What could be more entertaining than talking about farts and poop on the internet? got me.
i always try to catch it, lol. Nasty habit though.
I think everybodys farts smell different.
everyone dose it im sure dont worry xx
You're probably not the only person who does it, but it's probably not something to bring up in random conversation. The same way everyone looks at their crap in the toilet but no one makes a point to reminisce about it at the dinner table. That's a topic best reserved for REALLY close friends.
hate so say it.... but sorta
lool every has their own brand
Yeah, I think it's a curiosity thing. Sometimes you wanna know if it's the eggy kind or the rancid kind. My bf tries to smell my farts however, which I don't think is normal.
yes i like to smell my own fart sometimes but i hate other peoples
I sniff my own fart, every time. I just love the smell, the stinkier the better. Sometimes I even put my hand under my butts and smell it. HAHA!
dude if you like the smell of your own gas it's cool with me just remember that nobody likes to hang out with the smelly kid in class
